The U.S. women's figure skating trio, known as the Blade Angels, are set to compete in Milan Cortina 2026, with hopes of ending a two‑decade medal drought and possibly sweeping the podium. All three rank in the top five of the International Skating Union’s world rankings and each earned a medal at the U.S. Championships in St. Louis. NBC commentator Tara Lipinski said the team “could see a possible U.S. sweep,” noting it may be the best U.S. contingent in decades.
Johnny Weir highlighted the trio’s regional diversity, noting that Isabeau Levito hails from South Jersey to South Philly, Amber Glenn comes from Texas, and Alysa Liu represents California. Their varied styles and backgrounds add to the excitement as they aim to showcase American figure skating’s breadth on the world stage.
